pacapana — a tool suite to analyse protocol streams

About

Pacapana is a tool suite to analyse protocol streams and prepare
flow characteristics. Understand protocol interaction due to
explicit exchanged information (e.g. TCP options) or detect
inconsiderable protocol properties based on stream causalities
are one potential use case of pacapana.

On the other hand, the tool suite can be used to gather
information about network infrastructures and detect potential
bottlenecks (think about superfluous timeouts et cetera).
Pacapana parses PCAP data
files - saved in the well known data format for capturing
network traffic - and run the selected routines and let it up to
you to interpret the results. Realtime analysis isn't supported,
cause this isn't the main use case of pacapana, it's an offline
tool.
